From the Port Of New Orleans………
ST. CLAUDE AVENUE BRIDGE (LA 46)
The left lanes of the St. Claude Avenue Bridge will be closed to vehicular traffic (both directions) starting Monday, August 24, 2020 through November 2020. These lane closures are needed for structural and mechanical bridge repairs that cannot be performed while the bridge is operational, and the work has therefore been scheduled to coincide with repairs of the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal Lock, which can only be performed while the Mississippi River is at low elevation and while the Lock is closed to marine traffic.
In addition to the long-term left lane closures, the right lanes of the St. Claude Avenue Bridge will also be closed periodically for short durations of no more than 15 minutes to ensure the safety of workers and motorists during certain bridge repair activities, and these closures will be similar to normal bridge closures for passage of marine vessels.
No closures of the sidewalks or nearby bus stops are anticipated at this time.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and we appreciate your cooperation and patience during this bridge repair project.
